Griner has about as much chance of making the team as she does at sinking a full-court jumpshot at the buzzer.

But Cuban’s as wily as old Bill Veeck.

Who’s Veeck?

He’s the Major League Baseball owner who hired a little person (3-foot 7-inch tall Eddie Gaedel) in 1951 and inserted him into the lineup. (How would you like to try and hit that strike zone as a pitcher?) Veeck’s biography is even titled “Baseball’s Greatest Maverick.”

Grimes will go deep in the draft with a relatively meaningless pick, create national publicity of mammoth proportions, and then fade away while Cuban comes off as a beacon of women’s rights and a PR genius.
